Past Winners

Daily - September 2010
Owners: Zane Karnes - Age: 4 years - Home Town: Torrington, CT

Daily’s favorite game is “Find the Treat”. I hide treats throughout the house before I leave for work and he spends his day searching. He does not eat any of the treats. Instead he piles them on the living room carpet and waits for me to get home. I count the treats and if all are there I tell him “good job”, if some are still missing I say “oh, no” and then he heads off to continue his search. He will only eat the treats once I have said “good job”.
